The hyke is unacceptable because I can't just imagine how Nigerians will pay 225 per kWh if electricity improves tomorrow.

So any area that start having 24hr current will start paying 225 naira per kWh, who does that.
you don't have a choice, some poor countries like guinea bisaua are paying more, our focus should be to held the ruling class accountable, good things come at a cost, more ever,we need to learn energy conservation.

How many units is #5000 for ikeja electricity because am currently on band B and was given 85 units.

A friend of mine on band A said he was given 30 units for 5,000.

How much do they charge in your Area per unit and which band?

Biko, what is this band A, B and C nonsense? I used to get about 13 units for 1K and will endure 2-3 days of black out. I wonder how many units the morons will give me now.

Whether they tap or not, the total consumption is captured from the meter attached to the transformer and circulated to people paying estimated billing.

For #1000 I get 29 units. Just down the road about 5 mins drive is an area where #5000 we get you only 65 units. But they have better power supply. The whole thing is a mess. Nigeria is not organized.

You have outstanding on postpaid account. Say the truth.
Not many ppl even know about this; they just feel they are shortchanged.

The apartment I moved into, the meter had arrears and nepa was removing 50% every time we recharged.

Las-las we don pay d arrears finish.

What I really want to confirm is how to downgrade from Band A to Band B. Is it even possible, considering the fact that the Band whic one belongs to is according the the Area you are located , which means everyone in that Area are also same Band? So can Ikeja electricity downgrade just your own meter??The Band A price hike is really crazy, 250 naira fgs🤦 . Also, I don’t understand why my payment receipt showed my tariff instance to be Band B non-MD but on ikeja electricity know-your-feeder site, when I search my meter account, it shows Band A.. God Abeg 😭. I just wan downgrade to Band B

Do citizens even have the opportunity to calculate their electricity consumption units in this country anymore?

Government beeda to show responsibility and basic human/family needs should actually have good subsidy that's well monitored & well targeted just as done in developed world. Not the way our government have been removing subsidy claiming it's the rich/wealthy that get the largesse benefits of the various subsidies.

100 Units. Band C. I'm actually placed on C instead of D. I have complained. By month end, I should by 160 units for 5k

Okay I decided to recharge 1k and I got 20 units. Tariff is 46 per unit aside VAT: 930 for 20 is equal to N46 per kWh.

There is one thing I have noticed with Nigerians home and abroad. The literate ones pick a piece of information, distort it and pass it to the illiterate and misinformation continues. Mind you, there are many people on this forum that can read and write but unfortunately are still illiterate.
How can you say that someone who can read and write is an illiterate 😐 😒
For me I will say that many Nigerians lack common sense 😑
